A Podcast Opportunity Just for Authors


Hi folks, 

This is Lois W. Stern, an associate at TheNewBookReviewBlogSpot, with a marketing tip I think you will enjoy. As you know, Carolyn and I always like sharing helpful marketing tips with our blog followers, so heads up about this podcast opportunity. 

The Authors Show is a reputable podcast devoted exclusively to authors. Once the audio interview is finished, it is professionally edited and posted on multiple social media platforms free for 24 hours, with your book cover and a synopsis of your book included. Here is mine:

There is no fee to participate and you are sent questions in advance,​ so there are no surprises. Once the recording is completed​ and professionally edited, you can purchase an MP3 copy of your interview for a nominal fee for your extended personal use. Optional marketing plans are available to extend the distribution of the podcast if desired. See https://wnbnetworkwest.com/faqs for details. 

I recently took advantage of this offer and found it a fun, no pressure experience. I also added it to my website bio page (https://www.tales2inspire.com/bio) where folks can meet me, first in video and then listen to that interview. 

Lois is an associate of TheNewBookReview, working with a passion to help other authors strengthen their visibility on this blog and elsewhere. Through her annual Tales2Inspire contest, a labor of love that has received worldwide recognition, she accepts entries from talented newbies and accomplished authors alike and continues to feature her winning authors on an ongoing basis. True to her 'Authors Helping Authors' philosophy, she charges no submission fee for folks to enter her contest. She receives no remuneration for any of her services, but hopes those who benefit from them will express their appreciation by supporting Tales2Inspire anthologies and writing reviews. In her continuing spirit of “Authors Helping Authors”, Lois provides several tips on how authors can help promote themselves while writing honest reviews for others.
